Default setting is 7, you can change it if you like.
Safely delete access time stored here (7 is days): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ Explorer\VolumeCaches\Temporary Files Value Name: LastAccess Data Type: REG_DWORD Value Data: 7 Alter the "LastAccess" value for cleaning the Temporary files using Disk Cleanup utility http://windowsxp.mvps.org/cleantemp.htm -- Hope this helps. Let us know. Wes MS-MVP Windows Shell/User In , firewire hunted and pecked: Hello Why does the subject leave (7) days of temp. files after it completes its run? Thanks for the help.

Safety valve, I suppose.
